What's on this half term in Sunderland

It's February, it's half term and the question 'where can we take the kids' is in the air.

Sunderland has plenty of things to see and do to keep the kids occupied. From family activities, including, ‘Puddle Jumping Championships’ and a great selection of 'Leonardo’ inspired events at the Museum and Winter Gardens to sitting back and being entertained at the Arts Centre Washington with ‘Thief, Fox and Phoenix’, to getting sporty and healthy at the 'Big Sports Festival' at the Beacon of Light. Of course if the weather is fine it's nice to get out and about in our beautiful parks; feed the ducks, have a walk, ride a bike, let the kids play in the play parks and just relax.

Below are just some of the events on this half term and you can find more in 'What's on'.
